Barnacles…just barnacles.

Ginny shoved her clothes into a bag. She ran her eyes across her cabinets…did she forget anything? Her eyes paused slowly at a family picture. It was the one taken on the day when Ron was elected Quidditch Captain. He was crying happily and everyone else was beaming proudly. Ginny grabbed the picture and pulled it from the frame. Something to remember them by.

She slowly crept down the stairs and out the house. She had to leave she couldn't allow her family to see her victims again. She walked to the gate of her house slowly, undoing the clasp lightly. She stopped and looked at The Burrow. Tears ran down her face.

"Good-bye." She said softly and without another glance back ran down the path to the city ahead.

It seemed like such a sort walk to what it used to be. Maybe it was because she was a vampire now. Either way it didn't matter. She entered the city, which was still awake, even at this late hour.

People ran the streets in close clusters, aware that there were vampires and other ghoulies in the area. It was just like the jungle. A friggen urban jungle.

Ginny made her way slowly down the streets. She intended to find a small uninhited house or apartment and make that her new home.

The streets felt cold and unwelcoming, even with the rising sun. "Food, food for the poor." A blind man cried out from the gutters of the street.

"I'm sorry," Ginny said. "I have no food."

"Oh but you do." The blind man jumped up and brought his fangs to her throat. Ginny smiled dryly.

"Nothin left in there man."

The guy looked at her with piercing blue eyes, which made him appear blind. "You a vamp too girly?"

"Unfortunately."

"Unfortunately? Girl you've been blessed with a gift you just don't know how to use yet."

"Right."

"So why ya here?"

"My family…"

"Doesn't approve…or doesn't know?"

"The latter."

"Ahhh…and you must be a wizard then?"

"How do you know?"

"Wizards of are less approving of vampires than muggles…it's a widely known fact."

"Oh."

"Hey listen my name is Arlas and we I got a house a couple blocks down from here and it's basically a vampy hangout you come over and stay the night and we'll see what we can do with ya k?"

"Umm alright."

"Let me get a bite first k?"

"O…k."

Sorta a play on words. In't it? :-D.
